Lack of a statement, or at least some sort of informed opinion, can lead
to all sorts of rumor and conjecture.
So, we may as well have some fun with it...

Breaking News from Portland, Oregon:
The Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) was recently reported to be
the subject of a hostile takeover by business big wig Donald Trump.
Trumps first action at the helm of the Pacific Northwest's premier
bicycle racing organization was to deliver his famous "You're Fired!" to
OBRA Executive Director, Salvatore Collura. When questioned later Mr.
Trump explained that there is only room for one top dog in any
organization. Insiders speculate that Trump was in fact envious of
Collura's hair style and flamboyant management techniques.
When contacted for comment Collura would only say "I'd love to get that
self-important loud mouth in a crit sometime. Then I'd show him what
real executive leadership is all about!"
